i think that alot of people try smoking for the first time because it intrigues them, or for social reasons. Usually the people that smoke because of pier pressure or whatever they continue smoking, and if curiousity it depends if they like it or not, or how aware they are about the dangers.

Personally i was never even intrigued by cigarretes, however, i did try smoking once but I was drunk (very...) I don't remember how it was so well- it think i was sooo drunk i couldn't even do it right lol.....

I personally think that smoking is stupid and it defineately is unhealthy. But people should be able to smoke all they want as long as long as I don't have to smell it. Just like people should be free to engage in all sorts of unhealthy practices that I wouldn't participate in. Of course smoking does cause pollution and the gases it creates harm airborn insects in the vacinity of the smoker. Smoking also might have caused the extinction of the blue speckled toad hornet in California............

 

How?? :huh:

 

Can't find any record of a "blue speckled toad hornet" so I'm not sure we can take this seriously, anyway!! :P

Anyway, I think in the greater scheme of things the "pollution" angle isn't very relevant when you consider the effect of car exhaust fumes etc.

 

hahahaha....i was joking about the pollution and the blue speckled toad hornet :cool: :cool:

Do smokers with lung cancer care about pollution? :huh:

Non smokers will live to create iron lungs :smug:

hahaha...right

Ok well the last ciggarette i had was on saturday. and i have no need to have one.

never smoked. but i don't mind people smoking in my presence. free-willing passive smoker, i guess.

peter jennings died from lung cancer and he quit 20 years ago...dana reeves, Christopher Reeves's widow was diagnosed with lung cancer and she's not even a smoker! it's very scary.

Well, second hand smoking is pretty bad, I hate those mothers that smoke in front of their newborns.

Oh yeah.. everyone wants to be like Lindsay Lohen... pffftt.

 

I do :embarrased:

Well' date=' second hand smoking is pretty bad, I hate those mothers that smoke in front of their newborns.[/quote']

 

Omg i know i cannot stand that. Its like do u know what ur doing to your kid. i was raised around smokers even though my parents never smoked.

 

steph i know its really scary. in my mind that enought to quite.

Don't smoke. Seriously, if you do, try and stop. If you do it just for the hell of it. Stop. I know it's difficult, addictive as it is....but it will kill you. If you don't stop and you do die, say hello to my dad for me will ya? :cry:

tell it like it is brotha :cool:

yep.....defineately better just to stay away from it alltogether

ya it is. its a bad habbit.

I think I might be allergic to the smell of people smoking around me :/ I seriously can't stand it... :stunned:

well...since the smoke is unfiltered from second hand smoke..I have read that it can be even more harmful to the bystander than the smoker him/herself... :dozey:

I think I might be allergic to the smell of people smoking around me :/ I seriously can't stand it... :stunned:

 

I know how you feel. I can't stand close to people smoking, i just can't breathe around them. It feels like my lungs repel the air, so i have to step aside. :confused:

thats how i was when i was younger. but no matter how much i complained everyone still smoked around me and eventually i got use to it. So my words of advice don't get use to it.

so in other words...don't hang with smokers?..... :cool:

ya its kinda hard not to when there your family!!!

yeah....I guess the smart thing to do would be to get one of those army masks that filter out all the harmful chemicals...it would make quite a statement to your family... :cool:

^^^ haha srry that made me laught. but i guess it would make a huge statement. u see thought i grew up when people didn't know that smoking was so bad for you.

My parents smoke, I used to. Don't now

 

It's a personal choice and aslong as no-one is

breathing it directly into my face - fine :)

 

Ok i am just curious did you start smoking cause your parents smoked?

 

No not really, I started because I was bullied as I kid :/

How awful is that!? No excuse I know

I'm srry. I know the reason i started was my family i just became so use to it. i was curious if that was the way it was with you. one whole week and not one cigarette. I think my whole smoking thing is over. :D I hear by announce that i am done!!!!!!

Great...good choice.. :dozey:
